OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- Penn State won five of six matches just past the half-way point of the first round of the NCAA Wrestling Championships on Thursday.

Here is a capsule look at Penn State matches as well as matches involving wrestlers from area high schools and other Pennsylvania colleges.

125 POUNDS: Penn State’s Nico Megaludis gave up an opening takedown to Lehigh’s Darian Cruz but cruised after that, rolling up an 18-3 technical fall over Cruz at the 7:00 mark. Three takedowns and two nearfalls did the trick.

133 POUNDS: Penn State’s Jimmy Gulibon lost 4-0 to fourth-seeded Jon Morrison of Oklahoma State. A second-period escape and takedown and riding time point was all the offense Morrison would need.

Pitt’s Shelton Mack won a 2-1 pigtail bout of Cal Poly’s Devon Lotito, who is from Bethlehem. Mack then gave third-seeded Tony Ramos of Iowa all he could handle but fell 3-1.

Bloomsburg’s Nick Wilcox dropped a 4-2 decision to Zane Richards of Illinois. Lehigh’s Mason Beckman won by technical fall, and second-seeded A.J. Schopp of Edinboro pinned Colton Rasche of Navy in 4:55. Schopp is from Tyrone.

141 POUNDS: Penn State’s Zain Retherford, seeded third, faced a tough draw in All-America but unseeded Undrakhbayar Khishignyam of The Citadel, but the freshman from Benton worked a takedown at the first-period buzzer and another in the third period for a solid 5-0 victory.

Edinboro’s Mitchell Port, from Bellefonte, kept his top-seeded status intact by pinned Gabe Moreno of Iowa State in 2:24.

149 POUNDS: Penn State’s James English enabled the Lions to go 3 for 4 in the first round with an overtime win over 12th-seeded Dyllan Cottrell of Appalachian State. English escaped with 13 seconds left in the third overtime period. English will face fifth-seeded Jason Tsirtsis of Northwestern Thursday night. Tsirtsis dumped Bloomsburg’s Bryce Busler of Cumberland Valley 4-1. Busler will meet Cottrell in the consi round.

157 POUNDS: In a match that seemingly would never end, Penn State’s Dylan Alton tripped Michigan’s Brian Murphy 5-1. Murphy used all of his injury time for an apparent shoulder injury, and then an officials’ review was to see if Alton had earned a takedown at mat’s edge. He was given an escape but picked up a late takedown for the convincing win and right to meet fourth-seeded Ian Miller of Kent State Thursday night.

Lehigh’s Joey Napoli of Cumberland Valley was beaten 4-1 by second-seeded Derek St. John of Iowa. And Old Dominion’s Tristan Warner dropped a close 3-2 decision to 12th-seeded Luke Smith of Central Michigan.

165 POUNDS: Penn State's David Taylor picked up a fall in 2:58 over Joseph Brewster of South Dakota State, but the big news at 165 was Bloomsburg's Josh Veltre upsettting fifth-seeded Nick Moore of Iowa 7-6.
